Early Edition with Kate Hawkesby

Not-for-profit organisations running on the smell of an oily rag are taking aim at the Government over a lack of financial support. Plunket is being forced to sell its assets and cut services due to inadequate funding. Outgoing chief executive Amanda Malu has written a scathing op-ed saying not-for-profit services are being deliberately under-funded by successive governments. Grant Thornton Non-For-Profit Services Co-Leader Barry Baker told Kate Hawkesby these services do well managing the finances they have. He says when factors such as inflation are taken into account, organisations have to cut services or they'll fall away altogether. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
